“We were going to take vacation time in Tahoe at the end of the year, and thought, might as well do it now,” Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic told NBC Sports California on Friday.

“There is quite a bit of snow,” Vlasic said. “[This] week is supposed to be very warm. When we first arrived there was a huge snowstorm, with road closures.
